Abstract
A laser putter comprised of a golf putter having a putting head, a shaft portion, and a hollow handle portion. A laser is secured to the hollow handle portion. A convex mirror is secured to the hollow handle portion downwardly of the laser secured thereto. A laser light beam is reflected from the convex mirror onto the ground forwardly of the putter head along a line perpendicular to the putting face to provide a line of sight which aids in lining up a putt. In a second embodiment, the light beam is reflected from a first flat mirror to a second flat mirror and then to the convex mirror.

A laser putter for golfers which projects a visual sight line to aid in lining up a putt comprising, in combination:
- a golf putter having a putting head, a shaft portion, and a hollow elongated handle portion, the hollow handle portion having a padded outer layer secured thereto, the hollow handle portion having a removable end portion, the hollow handle portion having an upper chamber and a lower chamber therewithin, the upper chamber accessible from the removable end portion, the upper chamber and the lower chamber being separated by a retaining wall, the retaining wall having a through hole, the hollow handle portion having an aperture formed therein extending laterally outward of the lower chamber, the lower chamber having a triangular wedge secured therein below the retaining wall, the triangular wedge having a front surface radially disposed from the aperture, the front surface of the triangular wedge being at a forty-five degrees angle from the hollow elongated handle portion, the hollow handle portion having a conical shaped support ledge extending diagonally downward and outward from the padded outer layer thereof, the conical shaped support ledge having a back surface radially disposed outwardly from the aperture in the handle portion, the back surface being at a forty-five degree angle from the hollow elongated handle portion;
- a laser secured within the upper chamber of the hollow handle portion and positioned to project a beam through the hole in the retaining wall of the hollow handle portion, the laser having an activation mechanism extending outwardly within the padded outer layer of the hollow handle portion to be activated or de-activated by a user;
- two flat mirrors, a first mirror secured to the front surface of the triangular wedge of the hollow handle portion, a second mirror secured to the back surface of the support ledge of the hollow handle portion;
- a convex mirror secured to the padded outer layer of the hollow handle portion downwardly of the conical shaped support ledge thereof, so that the beam from said laser may be reflected from said first mirror to said second mirror to said convex mirror to the ground forwardly of the putter to provide a line of sight to aid in lining up a putt.
